[edit] Walkthrough

Inspect Sir Amik Varze in the banquet hall in Lumbridge Castle. Gypsy Aris will tell you that to protect the knight from the magic of the Culinaromancer, you will need to feed him Creme brulee supreme. She recommends you talk with the cook next door for help with the recipe. She also suggests you speak with the Wise Old Man in Draynor about the Evil Chicken.

Talk to the cook. He will again tell about you defeating the culimaromancer. you will ask how you defeated him and the cook will ask what part you didn't remember. Ask about sir Amik Varze. He will tell you to mix milk with cream in a pot. Then add cornflour, a vanilla pod from the Kharazi Jungle, the egg of the Evil Chicken, and the cinnamon from a ground Dramen branch. Once you have combined the ingredients, flambé the dessert using a dragon somehow.

Here is how to make the brulee:

• Use your cream on your milk to mix a milky mixture.

• Take your raw sweetcorn to a windmill, put it in the hopper, operate the hopper controls, and use your pot on the flour bin to get a pot of cornflour.

• Add the pot of cornflour to the milky mixture to make Cornflour mixture.

• Head to the Kharazi Jungle (make sure you bring a machete, a hatchet, and the if you haven't completed legend's quest the Radimus notes), and go to the pool of water near the middle of the jungle. Once at the pool, go directly south-west to find Vanilla plants. Search a plant to get a vanilla pod. Add the pod to the cornflour mixture, and it becomes Brulee.

• Make your way to Draynor Village and talk to the Wise Old Man. Choose the fourth option: "I'd just like to ask you something". Next, choose the Strange beasts option and then The Evil Chicken option. He will tell you about the "foul bird" and to look for it in the land of the fairies. The entrance is right behind you after you enter the shed with your Dramen or Lunar staff and you are teleported to Zanaris.

• (If there is no such choice, search a bookshelf with a golden statue on top for a book called Book on chickens. It will enable you to enter the Evil Chicken's lair.)

• Go to Zanaris. Bring your anti-dragon shield or dragonfire shield (to run safely past the dragons) and whatever you think you'll need to kill the Evil Chicken. (It is level 159 if you are level 60 to 110 and level 170 if you're higher.) When you're ready, use a raw chicken on the Chicken Shrine just north of the fairy ring that connects to the shed in Lumbridge Swamp to enter the Evil Chicken's Lair.

• 1—Portal to the Evil Chicken's Lair
• 2—Four Black Dragons
• 3—Evil Chicken's nest

• Equip your anti-dragon shield, run past the Black Dragons, put on the Protect from Magic prayer, and kill the Evil Chicken. It fights the same as it did during its random event fight, but it's a higher level. Take the Evil chicken's egg, and add it to your brulee. You should also take the raw chicken.

• Grind your Dramen branch into cinnamon with your pestle and mortar. Add it to your brulee.

• If you need to, restock at the bank in Zanaris. Get out your anti-dragon shield, raw chicken, dragon halberd, crossbow, bolts, food, potions, or anything else that you think you'll need to kill a Black Dragon.

• Return to the Chicken Shrine, use your raw chicken on it, put on the Protect from Melee
• ayer, and kill a Black Dragon (level 227).
  

  

  Fighting The black dragon.

• (If you are ranging or using a halberd, a corridor to the right leads to a mine, and you can hide in there and use it as a safe spot.)

• The dragon will drop a dragon token; be sure to pick it up before you leave. Escape the lair, put your ice gloves or anti-dragon shield on, and rub the token.

• Note: You will take a lot of damage and possibly die if you do not wear your ice gloves or equip an anti-dragon shield during this part.

• A fairy dragon will appear. Request that the dragon flambé your brulee to make it a creme brulee supreme.

Head back to Lumbridge Castle and give Sir Amik Varze the finished dessert to protect him and to complete this subquest.

[edit] Trivia

• When you talk to K'klik, you can ask for a horse as one of your options. K'klik will respond, "No horses in RuneScape. Try again." Horses are an extremely commonly requested item for transportation, but have recently been removed from the do not suggest list.
• The Evil Chicken random event has now been discontinued. Your character will still say that it "only turns up when I least want him to."
• In the cutscene after you rub the dragon token, the 0 that is hit by the dragonbreath that singes your brulee is green or red, when normally a 0 being hit is a blue shield.
• Although the Dramen tree was the likeliest source of cinnamon at the time of the quest's release, the Phoenix Lair now contains actual cinnamon trees.
